Override Prompt From Another Macro
Oct 12, 2009
I have a macro that performs an operation on all Excel files in a given folder. The only problem I had was I couldn't walk away until it was done because the files themselves had macros that gave me a Yes/No prompt to recalculate.
I already have a calculate command in my macro so how can I override this command without physically selecting and clicking "No" with my mouse and without editing the macros that are already in the files (each unique and embedded in the individual worksheets). I cant edit each file because there are close to 300 of them.

Is there a way to set up a macro hotkey from within VBA so that I can override a built-in "Ctr+" option (like Ctr+C, Ctr+U, Ctr+Z)?

I have a situation where I need a macro to reference another cell in the sheet if the cell is left blank. If the user wants to edit the value, they have the option to manually input a value but if they decide to leave it blank, it autopopulates the referenced cell.

excel macros and only know how to record certain tasks, and then edit after recording the task.
I am working on a project to automate a daily routine task for a company which involves creating a new tab and inputting various datas.
How can I create a macro such that I create a new tab and a combobox appears asking me to input the date in a particular cell?
This is the first in a number of steps for fully automating this process.
So far I only have this to create a new tab.

Sub Macro1()

ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveSheet
End Sub

I need to put together a macro, which will be assigned to a command button, that will prompt the user for a pre-specified password, and, if the password is correct, return a pre-specified value in a different cell. Is there any way to do this?
To put it in perspective, at my company we have approval sheets that need to be signed by several executives that are scattered all over the building. The first executive gets the copy, signs it, sends it off, etc. They tend to dissappear on occasion, so we are looking to make it all electronic, where they can access the file in a shared folder, and the if they enter their password correctly, their initials are input into the specified cell. They can than save the file for the next executive to do the same.

I have a print button or object and I want to assign a macro to it that when clicked brings up a prompt to type in a Month or Year to Date and prints the data that corresponds to that month or YTD. I have a Date column in a table that I can get a different macro to print by basially having the macro filter by blanks, so essentially printing all the dates in the table, but I feel as if it could be much better and simpler by prompting the macro to filter by "x" Month and print.

I am trying to complete a toolbar that will lock and unlock all the sheets in a workbook. While I can set the password automatically I'd like to have the macro ask for the password instead of hardcoding it.
Here is the code I currently have and works so long as I have already set the password in the workbook to match what is in the macro

I have looked in books and online and can't seem to locate how to create a macro that opens a browse function. From Excel I would like to click a button to start a macro and have that macro prompt me where to browse for the file. There is a lot of other code that will go after this step (which I already have), so once I click to "open" a file I want the macro to continue.

I'm trying to create a macro that I can assign to a clip art pic that will pop up the Insert Hyperlink prompt when I click on the picture. So basically anytime I click on the pic for the 1st time I'd like to be able enter the url address of my choosing but if I were to click on that pic again I want it to go to the Hyperlink address I previously entered.
I should note that I tried recording a macro by first by clicking on Record Macro then press ctrl + k and then click Stop Recording but it wouldn't stop recording. I had to first click Cancel on the Insert Hyperlink prompt and then I was able to Stop Recording so this attempt was unsuccessful.

I have several hundred workbooks with multiple worksheets(15-35) that I am trying to tidy up, so the data can be entered into a database. Its my first attempt at VBA and between the forum and macro recorder I made an attempt which is below. I just can't seem to get over the last part. I have searched the forum but can't seem to find any relevant information. I have a couple of questions.
1. I need to be able to run this macro over all the worksheets in the workbook, so how can I loop it? All the worksheets are named differently i.e. peoples names.
2. In my code I have inserted 4 columns. These columns will be the only thing common between all the worksheets. A1 to A30 = Week number, B1 to B30 = Shift Number, C1 to C30 = Supervisor number. Column D is blank. I'd like to be able to be prompted to enter these 3 numbers at the start if possible? Can this be done in such a way as you are only prompted the once and not on each worksheet? I picked 30 rows because the amount of rows in each worksheet varies but never exceeds this. The end of my code "Delete rows where cell B is blank" will delete any excess data where 30 rows of week numbers etc are not needed.

I have a button. When pressed, it runs a macro. Instead, after pressing the button, I would like the user to confirm to run the macro and display some info about it. This is to make sure the user does not accidentally run the wrong macro (button). I just need a prompt box, with a line info, and the two choices YES and NO. If NO is selected, nothing happens. If YES is selected, macro continues.

I have created a macro, but running the macro will replace the data that are already in the cells. So what I would like to do is to have a pop-up window come up when clicking the macro button asking if you really would like to proceed

I have created an Excel sheet that retrieves data from a ODBC source. I have created a macro using macro recorder to refresh the data by re-connecting to the database. However, the connection requires a password prompt and when the macro is run, you are still required to enter the password.
Is there anyway to make the macro so that the password is automatically entered and the user will just have to press a button to fully run the query update?

Looking to write a macro which includes a prompt to the user for use in Excel 2007.
Specifics....Have a workbook including many worksheets with a common layout. Would like to write a macro to copy specific defined ranges from one worksheet to another but within the macro it would prompt the user to type in the worksheet name to copy the ranges from.
Example....User is at worksheet C in the file containing worksheets A, B, C, and D. User starts the macro and a prompt comes up for the user to input the worksheet name to source the ranges from (in this example A). User types in "A" in a dialog box and the macros copy/pastes the contents from range B4:B35 and Z2:z20 from worksheet A into those same ranges in worksheet C.

Macros are just not my strong suit. I can usually find my answers here but this one has me stumped. I have rewritten this thing everywhich way but loose and this is my latest version.
Sub SetProtect()

' protect Macro
' prompts for password protection
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+p
'
Dim Response As String
Dim Answer As Integer
SetProtect:
Response = InputBox("Enter password")
If Response = "safety2" Then.......

I am using VBA to create a weightloss calculator and everything is going fine ecept the Vbyesno boolean that will not allow me to delete the data that i want.
I used a macro to delete the information that i want to delete and i know it works because without the vbyesno, it works fine.
With the vbyes no, both yes and no do nothing when clicked and the yes no box just closes.
The macro code is stored in a private sub called "ClearAll"
My code is:
Private Sub Restart_Click()
Dim Response As Boolean
Response = MsgBox ("Are you sure",YbYesNo)
If Response = VbYes Then
Call ClearAll
End If
End Sub
What am i doing wrong?
I also want to make the no button the default, how do i do this in conjunction with the code above?

For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

I have a Macro which deletes a sheet called "Pre selection" with:
Sheets("Pre selection").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
It asks me every time if I am sure and I have to click to continue. Is there any way to remove this prompt or set it to continue without my intervention?

I need a macro which collects data from two files and dumps it into a separate spreadsheet. I need it to prompt the user to select the two files, since the file names may change.
Once a user selects the files, the macro simply opens them, grabs the data (the data sits on a single sheet in each file) and pastes it into a file, and closes the 2 data files.
The Data sits in A7:N20 on both files.

I am looking to find a way and synthesize code that will prompt the user for text data when he/she clicks a radio button, then place that text data in a "Notes" worksheet within the same workbook. Given that there are multiple radio buttons, with options of "OK" and "attention needed" (it is a checklist of maintenance items), I also need to find a way to have each note listed sequentially in the notes worksheet. My questions: Is this possible using macros? Can you steer me in the right direction? (change event, inputbox, then what?)

I've got a bunch of formulas that often are trying to divide by zero, hence this error in the cell. Is there an easy way to modify the forumla or format so that if a division by zero is attempted, the cell can show a zero instead of this error?

From a database I import to Excel a large table of mostly name codes. One of the codes is SEP01 for "Separator Type 1", but Excel thinks it is a date code and writes Sep-01 and stores the number 37135. Oother types are like NovaZeck-08, abbreviated NOV08 and you can imagine how Excel interprets that.

Its been a while since I did this on 2003 and needing a pointer on 2007.
Just needing a simple macro that opens the relevant folder from a hardcoded path to allow the user to manually select the file to be used.
This file will then be used to copy from and paste to another file.

looking for a formula to paste value without overriding another value. For example in my case, I want to replace the value in G column (highlighted in red) by the value from J column (cells that on the same row as the values highlighted in red). For those values in B column that originally start with M180, i want it to be untouched. Right now I dont know what formula should i use.
U can see the attachment for reference.

I am developing a VBA for Excel application which uses transient worksheets to collect data from users before writing the data back to master spreadsheets.
My application opens an instance of excel with a workbook and worksheet using the following code:
Dim xlsInstance As Object
Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set xlsInstance = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wkb = xlsInstance.Workbooks.Add
wkb.Activate
Set wks = wbk.Worksheets.Add
wks.Activate
I can reference various ranges in the worksheet and do most of what I need but I need to override the Worksheet_Change method. Easily done for static sheets, but this must be set at runtime when the worksheet is created.
